Friday Fun! (Into the Woods, Blog Tour Updates)

No, I have not lost my mind. I know today is Saturday. Yesterday was just too busy to get a Friday Fun post up!

Right after work, I went to MIT where I was meeting a long-time friend (and her new significant other) for dinner followed by a local production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods. I’d seen the recorded Broadway version, but never seen it live. I was quite excited.

We had Mexican food for dinner (chips and guac ftw) then settled in for the play. The local folks did quite a good job, showing lots of enthusiasm. In particular, the women playing the Baker’s Wife and the Witch had superb singing abilities. The set design was also creative and highly functional. Most of the set changes from homes to the woods didn’t take long at all. I also, as always, enjoyed “Hello Little Girl.” Yes, I know it’s deliciously creepy, that’s the point, eh?

It was so nice to get out to see a show! I hadn’t in a long time. I also hadn’t seen my friend in forever, so it was great to catch up.
